The main reason for that would be the increased usage to heat/cool the cabin when you initially start up.

If you turned off AC and heating you should get better efficiency on the slower trips.

I'd say that's the main reason for my efficiency. I rarely use AC in summer.

Does anyone have experience of using a bike rack with an Ioniq? I'm looking to buy my first EV, the Ioniq is the one i want but carrying bikes is essential.
I have a saris bones but it looks like it would be pulling on the glass of the boot. One roofboxbox.co.uk site says that the Ioniq is not suitable for rear mounted carriers.
It looks like the BEV ioniq can't take a tow hitch either?
And i would have thought that a roof rack with 2 bikes on top would just kill the range?
Help!

Towbar is no problem,it's just the car isn't type approved for towing.
Have a look on Witter or brink etc websites.

thanks for the reply, but...

thats not what i'm reading elsewhere though - concerns about weight on rear hitch given the distribution of weight of batteries in the car. Hyundai do not approve the fitting of towbars to the ionq
ioniqforum.com/threads/bicycle-rack.3049/page-10

i will make a few calls to tow bar places and see what gets said.
i'm kind of gutted tbh, i had an ioniq lined up but this is a deal breaker.

Insurance implications perhaps if towbar

Had my best return from the battery so far today, 180km using 70% battery!

I'd go out on a limb and say that is a blanket thing to void off anyone actually towing.

In your case you'd be putting on some lightweight bikes. Frankly I'd put one on. And take it off come sale time.

You'd carry more weight in the boot space thank youd get on your hitch with the bikes.

Average speed around 80, pretty much all around Connemara on windy roads. GOM started at 180. Car usually returns a much lower rate as my fiance uses it at 120km motorway driving for 100km a day with Aircon and everything else on I'd say!

Yes it does bolt onto the electric car,download the link on the website for the fitting manual,
Look closely and you'll see a cup welded around the ball to prevent use with a trailer.

When I was last there I asked why they are the only Ikea in Ireland or the UK without a charger (dunno if that's true or not :P). The lady on the customer service desk made a few phone calls and couldn't come up with an answer. She did say that one guy she phoned will bring the matter higher.

Maybe if all EV drivers visiting did the same they would start to take it seriously.

Google found this when I searched "IKEA Dublin car charger". I've got low hopes anything has been installed since. I've messaged them anyways.

Others can do the same here (after a few clicks):

Thanks a million for that, really appreciated.

As for putting bikes on the roof as Unkle suggested, is any one else out there using a roof rack - how do they impact on the efficiency and are they ok to fit?

baldshin · 23-09-2019 10:53am

First full electricity bill since getting the car, €180. That's with about 3500km done, almost all home charging, plus I work from home so electricity usage would be higher because of that. Delighted, plus I've still to get us changed over to the night rate.

Got a reply.

Thank you for your email.

I'm afraid that at the present time, there are no electric car charging points at our Dublin stores, and we do not have any firm dates for when these may be installed.

Please accept my sincerest apologies for any inconvenience caused. If you require any further assistance, do not hesitate to contact us again.

Disappointing

Well, that's about a year and a half ago that I brought it up at the customer service desk, so they've no intention of doing anything I would say.:mad:

More pressure needed!

Might use a few random email addresses over the next few months and randomly email them.

September1 · 23-09-2019 9:24pm

I contaced IKEA in 2012 suggesting to put there a charging point for EVs. No response yet.

26-27?

Some people bought their brand new 191 white Ioniqs for €26k on the road. Amazing that you should be able to sell your second hand car now privately for around the same money

That said, would you not just keep it, deegs? The car costs virtually nothing to own once you have bought it.

€26k after a trade in surely? I purchased one this year and even the paddy spec was well above €26k straight sale

Nope. Incredibly there was a scrappage deal going on for a few weeks in some dealers at the start of the year. People got €4k scrappage for somtimes a wortless old banger, so they paid €26k on the road

And there is no paddy spec Ioniq EV! All Irish cars are the Premium spec. Which is a pretty good spec.

Yeah, on the road price is 31k, you need scrappage or trade in to get any less than that. Mine cost 27k after scrappage, I think it might have been possible to get 26k if you went for the white model as I think it's a grand or so cheaper.

Ended up letting it go. Didn’t want the hassle of fitting a tow bar or being stuck with an ugly roof rack on what would be the most expensive car I ever bought. Looks like an egolf or leaf40 for me. Thanks for the info though everyone.

Kramer · 25-09-2019 9:48pm

So anyone here ever had the motor replaced in their Ioniq, or heard of a case where a motor was replaced?

I've probably read everything ever written about the Ioniq at this stage and I haven't heard anything about a motor being replaced. At the end of the day though, it's still a car, and things break occasionally, but that's what the 5 year warranty is for.

Is it not 8 years on battery/drivetrain

adunis · 26-09-2019 9:11am

Hello ?,it's an electric motor it's got 2 moving parts and a simple reduction box& diff maybe 20 parts what are the odds ?.
I would worry about
Normal car stuff ie onsumables
A/c system
Inverters
Chargers
Batteries
In that order ie all the high power stuff.
Just like ANY other electric car.
The only instance of motor "failure" I'm aware of is very early q90 Zoe's and that was just noisy bearings all swapped out without any drama.
